According to Frontier Elementary School’s principal, Ketch the service dog being pictured next to his owner Ethan, who is in the second grade, was an easy decision.

“We didn’t even second-guess him when we saw it in the yearbook,” Principal Sue Groth said. “He’s a member of that classroom.”

Ethan’s mother also found the addition gracious saying on Facebook “You want to know how I know that my son goes to the BEST school in the Palm Beach County? I picked up his yearbook yesterday and this is what I see! I’m so very thankful for everything that Frontier Elementary School does for my son and his service dog,” she wrote. “The staff embraced them from the minute they stepped foot (and paw) on the campus and for that I’m truly indebted to them.”

Ketch knows when Ethan’s blood sugar is dipping or he needs insulin. The pair were even featured in a video posted by the Education Network.
